Game Thread GAME# 18: BLAZERS @ 76ERS - NOVEMBER 22, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

As bad as we play we still in the game.

 

[H.C.]

I like how Nurk is into the game on the sideline. Davis playing excellent defense on the bigger Embiid and Nurk is begging for a 3 second call.

 

[LuckyShot]

Just got the game turned on. I take it we're having one of our typical shitty starts?

0-13 to start the game.
score was 19-2.
Napier had first 7 points of the game for Portland.

McConnell gonna cry

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Seriously, we have played like hot garbage and are still in this. Stop playing like hot garbage and we just might win!

Defense has been decent all game!

 

[Mr. Robot]

CJ cant buy a bucket

 

[LuckyShot]

Here is why people can tolerate Dame shooting bad, but don't tolerate it as much from CJ: If CJ doesn't score, he's not doing shit for us.

Layman wins the "I Cant Believe I Was Drafted!" Award.

 

[The Professional Fan]

How does CJ NOT get that call?

 

[BlazerBeav]

CJ is murdering any chance of a comeback. Simply awful.

 

[Cippy91]

Tunchi gone

 

[BonesJones]

How you know @GrandJury is on some bullshit...

When Dame starts killing it and CJ misses everything, he literally doesn't say anything.

 

[e_blazer]

I hope CJ can find where he left his game in the locker room at halftime.

 

[BonesJones]

Dumb defense.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Noah plays five feet off of a guy who WANTS the three point shot. We are playing so stupidly.

 

[Mr. Robot]

good play Napier

 

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit. If not for Dame and Shabazz we literally might not have broken double digits.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Hero ball 3's are all we have.

If Lillard scores 60 then maybe we have a chance.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless has to stop this fucking invisibility act and show up for more than two or three plays per game.

 

[Trackjack]

Not much positive in the 1st. Vonleh with 7 rebounds and Napier and dame is the only ones scoring. Neg. we are getting beat on almost every stat.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I want Markieff Morris

 

[H.C.]

Why exactly was Vonleh playing so far off Saric?
I understand why you play off Simmons, guy can't throw a rock in the ocean. But why do you need to help so much off Saric right there?
Answer is you don't.

Be nice if CJ wasn't @GrandJury feast or famine. He's been more of a streaky shooter this year than consistent. Will have a good quarter once a game which pulls him to 50% from the field.
However unlike you I equalize criticize Portland's star backcourt.
I'll also find the post where you said we had no chance against Memphis later tonight.

 

[Chris Craig]

Having problems with Hulu...wasn't able to watch the first half, but by looking at the score, that may be a good thing

 

[Jade Falcon]

Harkless has to stop this fucking invisibility act and show up for more than two or three plays per game.

He is pretty useless, isn't he? I'd rather play Layman at this point. I mean what the hell do we have to lose?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

God this team is infuriating. Not making shots? Maybe we should try turning the ball over!

Variety is the spice of life

 

[Optimistic Bob]

I'm losing hope in Nurk. He can't seem to motivate himself and I can't stand his droppy slouch as he walks around and plays. Davis is the man. They need to not let him go

 

[Jade Falcon]

It sounds like a 90s theme park in this arena.

 

[H.C.]

Hero ball 3's are all we have.

If Lillard scores 60 then maybe we have a chance.

Lillard was setting Nurk up for baskets on the P&R in the second quarter.
I'm just a little tired of watching Portland's offense these past few games. Everyones standing around waiting for Lillard to get them a look. & CJ is just going one on one.
